Considering moving back to Apple Photos and using NAS as a …
2007年1月9日 · Years ago I used iPhoto for my images and really liked it. Then Apple ditched it in favour of the Photos app. I hated it and so moved away from it opting to use my Synology NAS to store all my images. It has software called Moments that works a bit like Photos and allows me to use my NAS as a...
Introducing Photos Backup Anywhere: A Simple Backup Solution …
2012年8月22日 · It works with iCloud, even with the “Optimize Storage” setting, ensuring your entire photo library is securely backed up.

Backups, NAS, and iCloud - MacRumors Forums
2012年10月12日 · The NAS allows me to keep the backup local to my network (so obviously, my NAS is not exposed to the internet), but also allows that backup to be available whenever I am on my home network. Additionally Synology has a Time Machine-like backup solution native to it where I can use a separate disk to back up my NAS similar to how time machine ...
What’s a good NAS and NAS software for home use
2021年8月11日 · That should be doable, but your problem is that you wouldn't be able to reply back to that email, have the NAS send it, and send it with the email address of iCloud. You'd have to relay it back through iCloud's servers. The NAS can do that, but you'd have to configure that. This would mean that you would have to expose your NAS to the Internet.
Time Capsule/NAS alternatives - MacRumors Forums
2024年1月1日 · 1. TM maintains hour by hour backups in an efficient manner reducing the amount of disk space required. Most convenient backup solution. 2. Disadvantages of TM include its tendency to fail and that it can be problematic on NAS units. It either fails or is so slow even with incremental backups on my NASes that it is useless.
Advantages of 3rd-Party Backup Tools vs. Time Machine
2021年12月21日 · TM doesn't backup up cloud files not stored locally. CCC can backup cloud files by materialising cloud only files, backing up, and releasing them. CCC has considerable configuration choices, particularly useful of you have external drives to be backed up. This why I use CCC. If you want simplicity, the TM is the way to go.

Time Machine backups painfully slow on NAS (smb)
2016年12月18日 · 20 hours in between, the next backup to a NAS / HFS+ sparsebundle took 30 mins over Wifi, which is similar to what it's been for the past 10 years. I'm becoming quite convinced that APFS is the bottleneck in this setup, not AFP/SMB. Unless it's the combination of both. To be sure, how can I check, whether the Time Capsule connection is via SMB ...
Backup external HDD trough Mac to Synology NAS?
2024年8月25日 · How much data on the external HDD? How much capacity avail on the Synology DS223 NAS? Copying files from one mounted volume to the other is trivial and @chabig suggestion of CCC is good one for automating the copying. However, you gots to have the space for it on the NAS. Nothing sucks more than running out of space on your NAS.
What is the difference between backup using Time Machine vs …
2024年10月18日 · Again Synology being a RAID device means that if a drive conks, it can be replaced, the system rebuilds the backup space and is back to normal use. In a DAS, when the storage conks, it's likely a full replacement, backup-from-scratch on the new drive scenario. I consider the backup of backups (via the nature of RAID) "better" too.
